Thanks for sharing Joo Beng. That place looks the entrance to a stargate! Must have been a wonderful experience observing totality...

Yes, never knew such people existed and was like I was transported into a different reality. Unfortunately was not totality this time but the experience was just as spiritual!
It seems that these people always congregate during eclipses so they're planning another 7 day one in November too!

Here's a composite photo I created that I thought I'd share for everyone's enjoyment. It's not totally accurate - though I did try to use the actual path that the Sun took during the eclipse. But of course the actual phases were not exactly at those locations, so it's more to achieve some artistic value, as well as serve as a momento for me to remember the occasion by. All elements in the photo were of course captured during the occasion :-)
